I really enjoyed this game and played it a lot longer than any other LD game yet. It's juicy and it has a really complex strategy part to it. It could need better explanation of the action chain that the player has to go through (at first I played it for then rounds without even planting something), but other than that it's a really nice work.

This is the first farming game I've seen that solves the issue of crops being non-unique. Normally it's just pricier seed = more profit, more or less. You actually made each one have its own resource payload req, good job.

This was actually one the best farming games I have ever played. It actually had a more complex strategy part which made me play it very much and enjoy it. Really nice work with this one.

Excellent game-I absolutely loved it. First off, I won on the last day, which just goes to show how well it appeared to be balanced. I loved the store music and the farming music, while a little boring, still fit the game very well. Art was excellent, though I never figured out what the two things on the top row in the second to the farthest left spot do, and it took me a while to figure out what everything in the store did (especially the shoe-I didn't realize that that was how many turns I had left until I only had 10 days left)

Progression was great and made sense. I didn't see anything that seemed too good or bad, though I never bought the mushrooms. I like how the more expensive plants cost more resources, but give you more money when you sell them.

Great game!

This is actually really good! The concept is solid, the gameplay is all there and you fit the theme of growing perfectly. The only mark down I would give is that I think using the mouse is kinda cheating for two-buttons given that it's actually more like two buttons + dpad, but I digress. Since it's one or the other, you still fit the theme perfectly.

Nice idea and well-balanced. (Won with 4 days left!)

Great game!
I managed to win on the second run. The complexity of this game was unexpected. The different types of plants interesting. The music was good.
Even if I was lost at first, the second game I got to tinker around with upgrades.
Very good job!

Wow, great job! You made a complete and innovative game :D. First I thought... oh just another 3-match game :/ Then I started playing and I realize you introduce some interesting new mechanics. Again, nice work!

Great little match-em game, really great entry!

Surprisingly good for a farming kind of simulation and the whole growing theme is well implemented. I'm not lying, it was actually really good to play it.
Keep up the good work!

This game has some nice strategy and depth! I especially enjoyed the various levels of "forgiveness" the plants had. Well done!
